The Influence Of Environment.

Rev. Thomas Bridges. a missionary
in TERRA del Fuego, in the large island
of Onisin, among the Ona and the Yag-
bons, mentions a curious circumstance
with reference to the people. illustrat-
ing the influence of environment on the
requirement of habits. Between men
and women there is fair subdivision
of labor. Among other things, the
men make and tit up The canoes. but
the women are the rowers. The result
is that the women are good swimmers.
but the men can not swim at all. The
reason is that often on the coast there
is not a single tree to which to fasten
the canoes. The women. therefore,
after landing their husbands. have to
row the canoes to spot where sea-
weed has been massed together. in or
der to moor the canoes thereon; SITTER
which operation they are compelled to
swim back. So, also, when the canoe
is wanted, the women have 70 swim
out for it and row back for their hus-
bands. 7. Post

The VIDA lndi Cataans.

A few days ago 1 conversed with an
Indian of tribe that was new to me.
He was a Catawba, a name familiar to
me only in its application to grape
fruit. of a popular variety. Upon con-
sulting an atlas, in common use a hun
dred and fifty years ago, found Ca
tawba river, and Catawba village. in
South Cardinals northeastern border.
And there. in proximity to what was
then the southern boundary of North
Carolina. lived the small tribe of Ca
tawba Indians. They were peaceable.
Industrious cultivators of the soil, and
inclined to Christianity. BY grant
from tie Colonial Government, they
occupied twenty-five square miles of
territory; but, in course of time, the
whites as usual began to encroach upon
their land without leave or license. At
length the South Carolina Government
induced them to lease their fields at a
nominal rent; but, finally. even that
satisfaction was denied them. At pres
ent less than hundred of these Indians
survive. Their chief with whom con-
versed was educated in Georgia.-Waak

The Reward of Enterprise.

No farmer ever yet had enough ma.
nure. and one may well excuse law
ish expenditure for fertilizers to exc
out the supply. meager enough as
compared with the hungry calls of the
land But when farmer pays out
800 for fertilizers he has nothing to
show for it but his odoriferous sacks
and his increased crops. This result is
of itself satisfactory as far as it goes,
but it goes only half far enough. The
farmer who spends 500 in bran or
cOttonseed or linseed meal, and uses
up his straw for feeding with his hay,
and grows roots. and gathers the ma
nure from all this feeding, and makes
compost with such raw materials as
he can procure, has big heaps of this
to look at for his 800; but in addition
he has some fat cattle or sheep or but
ter to sell. which brings back the 500
with interest, and the manure is a
bonus thrown in as a reward for his
enterprise and industry and good mar
agement. Truly the old saying should
be cherished as the leading article in
the creed Of every farmer.-M Y

The transcendentaL philosophic baked beans

Her attitudinosity is such as is adored,
But you never saw her posing DER the family

All, in her pianosthetics she can show her

But betting on her sewing you would certainly
get left:
And her conversationality astonlshes her sex,
But then its grammarology is likely to perplex.
She's familiar with the operas, yet she doesn't

That the music Of the household has its start

In the ball rooms strict devotions She is always
quite severe
Her devotions OF q Sunday-well, perhaps the

Proudly doth she WELD the scepter in the

But at home it's not synonymous with busting

For she's ncome-parable with twenty thousand

Peters favorite place is table in

most inconvenient times. He is a
good mimic. When the doctors son

down cellar for cream and preserves,
Peter calls in a severe tone:
''Charlie! Charlie! come right here
Let that cream alone"
And the boy sneaks up. only to be

little pale boy walked up into the mid

kneeling directly before the Madonna

his knees, and, covering his face with
both hands, seemed as entirely lost in
prayer as the old man had been. In
his pale face, his evident deep feeling
and his appeal to the Madonna read
as plain as words could have told it
the story of motherless boy on his
way to his home where he would not

man of fine-cut features, that really

his hands as he clasped his book (for ]

cately formed, and could never have
been used to manual labor. His dress
was goat-skin, and his feet entirely
bare, not having on even the
sandals the barefooted friars wear
He had his pilgrims staff with
crucitix at the end of it, and the
small gourd for dipping water from
the brooks or streams he was passing,
as his needs might be. He had also a.
little sack. quite similar to those our
post-men carry. strapped to his Shout
der. Going from chapel to chapel in
the church, he knelt before the altar,
sometimes for long time, seeming en-
tirely unmindful of the people and
wholly absorbed in prayer. There was
no expression of cant in his face or
manner, but true devotion. He might
have passed for one of the pictures OF
st. Francis in the churches, and he
seemed like a figure stepping out of one
of the pictures of scenes of the middle
ages more than any thing l have yet

EASTERN LAVA BEDS.

and Other States.
The repeated earthquake shocks in
the Western States, considered in con-
nection with the destructively severe
ones last August and September, make
one wonder sometimes if Connecticut
will always escape with rs light shak-
ing up us it received when the city of
Charleston was So nearly destroyed.
But if there is no present danger from
earthquakes and volcanic cruptio2s in
Connecticut, the time is not very far
distant, gcologically speaking, when
the city of Hartford, had it existed
would have been in danger of being
flooded with lava. 1t was some time
before the Connecticut valley was peo--
pied with red men and al Jut the time
it was settled with red mud; it was

Mount Tom and Mount Holyoke

appear that these lava eruptions in
Connecticut were of comparatively
short duration and that the force that
caused the earth to crack open. up and
down the valley in nearly straight

assures closed up again. Great as
must have been the force exertcd and

LADIES QE LIMA.

The ladies of Lima are all eyes.
They have the reputation Of being,
as class, the most beautiful in the
world, and meeting them on the
way to mass in the morning, or
shopping later in the day, one can
see how they obtained it; but know
ing them in their home the opinion
changes, and you conclude after
calm reflection that they are not so
pretty as the women of New York.
1t is the manta which they wear in
such coquettish way that gives
them their reputation for beauty,
for IL conceals every feature except
their bewitching eyes and lovely
olive complexion. No matter how
ugly her mouth and nose is; no
matter how high her cheekbones or
large her ears; no matter whether
she is as scrawny as scarecrow or
as bald as a bat, a manta will make
woman with pretty eyes look
handsome, and, like charity, it
covers multitude of sins. This
garment which is peculiar to Peru,
and is worn by ladies of all ages
and social positions, from the Presi-
dents wife to the laundress who
comes after your linen, is sort of
foster-sister to the mantilla of Spain.
1t is usually of crepe from China,
and costs anywhere from $40 to
$500, according TO its quality

the CONFERENCE OF Astronomers

According the Home Neps, a
conference Vt astronomers from all
parts of the world held its first
meeting at Paris on Saturday, 2lst
April. The object Of the assem-
blage, which is in response to invita-
tons issued by the Academy of
Sciences, Is to consider and arrange
plan for the charting Of the whole
heavens by photography on large
and uniform scale. Several observ-
atories in both hemispheres will CO.
operate in the execution of this vast
survey, and it is confidently hoped
that the work will be effected within
ten years. There is to be a roll-call
Of the consultations. Every star
out of the twenty millions revealed
by the telescope, down to the fif-
teenth magnitude, will be located on
a Photographic map, so that not
even one shall henceforth be able TO
slip out Of its place, or change in
its aspect, without certainty of de-
lection. The idea of such stock
taking of the stellar universe has
been ripcning for some time. AS
far back as 1884, DIR. Gill, of the
Royal Cape Observatory, applied
Tor assistance that he might be en-
abled, through the application Of
photography, to make a chart of the
stars of the Southern Hemishere |;
and the Royal Society sent out Mr..
C. Ray Woods to perform the pro-
jected work, under the direction Of
DR.. Gill. Several successful photo
graphs were taken, and the work
done at the Cape was the beginning
of a great enterprise. The French
scientists also have during the last
three years been photographing
portions of the heavens, and their
demonstrations are Of SO hopeful
a character that the Director OF the
Paris Observatory has stated that
the problem of making celestial
charts was practically solved. Eng
land is well represented at the Paris
Conference of Astronomers. The
Astronomer Royal himself, besides
three others, representatives Of thu
Royal Astronomical Society, an(
many from the Colonies interested
in the undertaking, form part Of ,
council whose deliberations arr
fraught with issues Of the highes

ELECTRIC LIGHT REMOVED.

The electric lights have been
taken out Of the Honolulu Rifles
armory. When the lights were put
in, it was done by order Of His
Majesty and against the wish Of Mr..
d. p. Smith. The Interior Depart
ment, under whose jurisdiction the
electric light comes, notified the
Honolulu Rifles, few days ago,
that the lights in the armory would
be taken out, for short time, until
the cable circuit was made in that
vicinity, and that the Rifles would
receive due notice. Mr.. Smith, it
appears, without notifying either
the Interior Department or the
Honolulu Rifles, had force Of men
take out the lights, because, lie
claims, he needed the wire and
globes for the bungalow in the
Palace yard.

A BRIDES ReP0SE OF MANNER.

Said an observant gentleman to a

day: "Did you ever notice the per-
feet ease and self-assurance of

young lady carrying an immense
bouquet of roses in her hand come
into the car with a friend OF the

polished beaver, fresh lavender
necktie and boutonnere, and es-
pccialy whose atfectionate regard
for the young lady with the bouquet,
stamped him as bridegroom.
There was trepidatiOn in every
movement Of the young man, but
the young lady marched up to her
seat, passed the bouquet to the
porter, hung up her cloak, or rather
passed 1t to the young man to hang
up, calmly took her seat and began
to read novel. The young man
sat in his chair and looked at her
with all-consuming eyes, and then
whispered to her, then put his hands
upon the arm of her seat and evil

answering his questions in mono
syllables and looking out of the win

insisted upon bringing in a lunch,
